The data illustrates how the Australian agency of Meteorology gathers weather information on a minute-by-minute basis in order to make accurate and reliable predictions.
Overall, as the diagram displays, the process is divided into three parts. It begins with collection of information and ends with broadcasting the forecasts.
To begin, different technological devices such as satellites and radars are used to gather preprocessed information from the environment. Then, the collected information is processed and analyzed to make reliable forecasts. It is done through analyzing satellite photos, radar screen and synoptic charts.
In the subsequent stage, the analyzed data is then post-processed and prepared for broadcasting. Then, in the last stage, the reliable forecasts are ready for broadcasting in television, radio, and recorded announcements and conveying them to citizens. Finally, people will receive the forecasts by watching television or listening to radio or by calling designated phone numbers and hearing recorded announcements.
